For me, I need people who will respect my vision and will back it and won't go changing things without letting me know. I would love some people who I feel like I could work with on a personal level as well.

I feel like if you compare yourself to other successful musicians you will never be successful, because there will always be someone above you who has done something more or done something first or done something better.

As long as I can sustain myself and as long as people like what I am doing and are happy to support me to continue, that is success in my eyes.

If we all knew how to make that jump from good to great then I think every song would be great.

It is one of those things that is universally connectable, people can connect to it from everywhere; music is like that universal language.

I was born in London. I moved to New Zealand when I was really young; I can't remember London. My parents went and did what was supposed to be a one-year O.E. (overseas experience) that turned into a 9 year O.E. and they had two kids.

I feel like it is only music where people are like, "You can't do this for other people, you have to do it for yourself." Which I hate.
